Not Enough Wind

Polls tell us that this November the Dems will win the White House and hold Congress. There are many reasons why this would be very bad for the USA. My first post was about national defense. This one is about oil.

The country runs on energy. Oil has been and will be the way we power our vehicles. Most experts agree on this. Gas prices are way up and the Dems, in the same old rut, say that George Bush and the big bad oil companies are to blame. Really?

The truth: worldwide, more gas is demanded than is available. Econ 101: Prices go up. Econ 201: Increase supply and prices go down.

But guess what? At every turn, the Dems block our attempts to increase supply. As a result, we can't drill off most of our coasts and in Anwar, Alaska; and we can't build any more refineries.

The Dems have bowed to environmentalists who worry more about toads and moose than humans.

To make matters worse, we have to buy around 70% of the oil we use overseas. Billions of dollars flow out of our country. If we bought our oil here, American would make the profit while prices would come down.

Sen. Obama is in lockstep with the Dems on oil policy: "No, No. No". He wants us to develop alternative sources of energy, but he is short on specifics on how to do this.

Sen. Obama talks a lot about windmills. (So did Don Quixote.) I can imagine a windmill on top of our cars - sailing along the highways until the wind stops; then sitting along the side of the road like the sailing ships of old when the trade winds died.

John McCain and most Republicans are realistic. They recognize that our economy will be ruined unless we find more oil and find it quick to save our economy. That's another good reason to vote Republican in the fall.

New Election, Same Old Dems

Doom and gloom. Whine, whine, whine. Here we go again, ala Jimmy Carter.

The Dems hated it when George Bush was elected in 2000 and the Republicans took over Congress. Since then, they have done everything they could to regain power - even if it meant trashing the USA in the process.

The question is: Will the voters recognize this truth and restore sanity in the political system?

There is so much on this, that I hardly know where to start. But here goes. Future post will be related to this topic.

First and foremost is 9-11. This one is simple. Bill Clinton dropped the ball and ignored terrorism against the USA. As a result, George Bush was left with a plot hatched under Clinton's watch that exploded into a day where 3000 died in New York, DC and Pennsylvania.

The truth: No more attacks since 9-11-2001 when everyone thought there would be more - thanks to George Bush. The lie: Barak cries that Bush failed protecting the country against terrorism. Huh? And he says that we should not vote for John McCain because he would bring more of the same of Bush's policies. I say, let's keep this Bush policy in force. (No pun intended.)

For me, that is the end of the question who to vote for. There are many more reasons, but I will save them for future posts.

God Bless America - and God help us if we continue turning our backs on Him.
